Praise for Mark Henry and his
Amanda Feral Zombie Novels!
Battle of the Network Zombies
“Clever, fast-paced and so delightfully trashy that it should have been printed
on Hefty bags, Henry’s third Amanda Feral novel smartly skewers popular
culture. Henry gleefully delivers a sharp-edged whodunit with some smart and
funny twists.”
Publishers Weekly
“Amanda’s back and serving up her deliciously bitchy snark in the oh-so-
talented Henry’s wildly bizarre whodunit. No one can match Henry when it
comes to gross and hilariously twisted shenanigans.”
RT Book Reviews
“Hysterical! An epically riotous page turner.”
Fresh Fiction
Road Trip of the Living Dead
“What can I say about Road Trip of the Living Dead? It’s irreverent, gross and
disgusting. All in a good way. I LOVED it!!”
Jeanne C. Stein, author of Legacy
“In turns hilarious and twisted, Road Trip of the Living Dead is a book I’ll
never forget. Who knew fashion-obsessed flesh eaters could be so engaging?
Fans of any genre won’t be able to put this book down as they fall into the
darkly comedic world of Amanda Feral and her undead companions. Edgy and
evocative, Road Trip is a must read! I’m looking forward to reading future
works from this talented author.”
Anya Bast, author of Witch Heart
Happy Hour of the Damned
“Dark, twisted and completely hilarious. I loved this book!”
Michelle Rowen, author of Lady & the Vamp
“Call them the splatterati—werewolves who always know what to wear,
zombies with bodies to die for, and vampires who know their fang shui—just
don’t call them late when it comes to happy hour, or the drinks might be on
you.”
David Sosnowski, author of Vamped
“Happy Hour of the Damned—is it a comedy? An urban fantasy? A
whodunit? Who cares! Mark Henry’s written such a clever and engaging story
that fans of any genre will totally adore it! Amanda Feral is the freshest, funniest
character to come out of fiction since Bridget Jones and my only regret is she’s
not real and we can’t go out for drinks. (Because, really? Zombies are the new
black.) In short? I loved this book!”
Jen Lancaster, author of My Fair Lazy
